Agreed, it's somewhat hysterical reporting (but hey, blame the consumers, they're the ones that click on those headlines). However, in the end it is still pretty interesting that they are focused on looking for fraud at the lower end of the income spectrum rather than the higher end where I imagine the risk/reward ratio is much higher... if the IRS sends a claims letter to a poor family for 1k, they'll probably pay it or not have a way to fight it. If the IRS sends a claims letter to a wealthy person for 100K, they're going up against accountants and tax lawyers who are probably better equipped than the IRS itself.
